i know this isnt hugely moggy related, but its the same principal.

i am seriously considering making my austin somerset into a nice unique cabriolet, however i am not sure how to finish off the roof above the top of the front window?

would i leave it as a simple cut off, or would it be wise to create some form of bar with the reminants of the roof?

I'm sure I've seen one at a show.
Here is a pic I found on google.

currently got 4 doors, but in order to strengthen the shell up abit more, ill weld up the rear doors.
my current thinking is not having a roof at all and having a large toneau cover. probably make it a fair weather car, but with a big coat i am sure i could survive a cold day
